So 5 months ago or so i got the asus k52j and immediately formatted and installed fedora... everything works smooth but now i installed windows 7 on a different partition so i can dual boot and play games. But here comes the problem... i just can't install the nvidia drivers for my 310M card. I don't really get the whole optimus thing (i guess it's so that the pc uses a different card while performing easy graphic tasks but switches to the nvidia card when performing high end tasks/whatever so it doesn't drain the battery that much? anyway...). I literally read every topic google has offered me... every driver i try i get the "nvidia installer can't continue. Driver couldn't find the correct hardware (rough translation from my language). I can't play any games since they're lagging or some elements don't even load (like the street in gta4). Currently right now in my bios under GPU i have selected "reserved" but i had win7/vista selected too, nothing changes...

So long story short, can someone write a little tutorial for me how to get the nvidia geforce 310m to work in windows 7 (32 bit) on asus k52j? I'm desperate

Guys previous suggestions are correct. Resetting you bios settings to default would be a great help. I gave up looking for solutions for me to be able to use my nvidia geforce 310m cuda 1gb again. But I was surprised that just like that my computer started to identify my nvidia :). Try it guys, itll help
